Ohio and sectionalism.

The fact that sectionalism seems to have
a stronger hold in Ohio than in any Other
State Is significant. 1t suggests several
things. One is that Ohio is very much be-
hind the times, and another is that the we'll
being of the Republican party in that State
is dependent to great degree upon keeping
alive the animosities Of the past. There is
cause to believe that both of these conclu-
sions have some foundation. That the peo-
pie of Ohio can be influenced by the glaring
misstatements of Foraker, Sherman and
some of the Republican papers is proof that
they are either a very ignorant set OF
people, or are allowing themselves to be led
by the nose by a group of politicians whom
they know to be wrong. The war came
to an end some twenty-three years
ago, and the bloody shirt has almost
ceased to be an effective weapon in political
campaigns; but here is State saying by
her vote that the war is still going on, AID
that it is the duty of the people of Ohio TO
hate the South and to save the Union by
voting the Republican ticket Were the
bloody shirt not worth a considerable num-
Der of votes to the Republican party it
would be laid aside
The truth is that when sectionalisn in
Ohio dies, the Republican party there will
receive a shock that will go long way to-
ward placing it in the same coffin with the
bloody shirt Foraker and Sherman know
this, and they cling to the bitter past with
the tenacity of a bull dog.
New York is in striking contrast to Ohio.
Col. John r. Fellows, who was recently
elected to one of the most important offices
in New York city, was an officer in the Con-
federate army; and yet even tho Tribune,
one of the most partisan Of the Republican
papers, did not allude to the fact during
the campaign, because there was no polit-
ical capital to be made out of it New York
is the most progressive of the North
ern States, and no better evidence of her
liberality can be given than her refusal to
accept malicious falsehoods for the truth.
and to resurrect the past. When a well
known Georgian preached reunited coun-
try in New York he received
the greatest ovation of the day.
when another well known Georgian
preached the same doctrine in Ohio, the Re
publican leaders and press heaped upon him
all manner of personal abuse. 1t is true
that the first of these speeches was made at
time when there was no political excite
ment, but the fact that Gov Gordon went
on his mission of peace 10 Ohio, and not to
New York, shows that be was needed more
in the one State than in the other.
The spectacle may be termed pitiable.,
Ohio is State of too great possibilities to
be looking back twenty years. 1t is high
time the light was dawning upon her, and
that she was taking her position with other
liberal and progressive States

How Congressman Draw tn air Salaries
Eroln. th., Ne,r York San

From the Ne,o York sun.
One Of the Clerks of the House, the other
day in talking about the habits of members in
drawing their salaries. said that about one-half
of them drew what was due them in advance
every month. About one-thI d of the entire
number made checks against tue Sergeant-at-
Arms whenever they wanted money, as they
would against |: bank, and that official usually
caSneS them. no matter whether any money Is
due the Congressman or not, but he usually
sees at they do not overdraw their annual
cumuate until the end of the session, and then
dEaw II in a lump. john II. Ketcham, William
l.. Scott. Adams, of Chicago, and Wilkins, of
Ohio, invariably do this. Mr.. Randall who has
nothing but his salary to live on, usually draws
down to his margin. In the Senate, the
practice is similar Mr.. Cullom, who is a poor
man. draws his salary at the end of each month
Mr. Edmunds generally leaves his until the end
of the quarter and takes three months wages
at a time. Mr.. Sherman is one of the monthly
payment Senators, but Mr.. Payne leaves his Son
depasit until he happens to need money, and
then sends page to the Clerks Office to havt a
check made out Tor all that is due nm. Mr.
Hale has a similar habit. William Maxwell
.varts gives checks against his salary to the
real estate agent from whom he rents his house.
and il takes it all Don Cameron is very care
less about his salary, and never seems to know
how much is due him. He lets the money accu
mulate for several months, and then, when he
wants funds makes a check regardless Of the
amount due him. MIR. Stanford generally leave
his until the end of the session. aud then draws

$4,000 to the credit of his wife at the bank of
Riggs & Co., and that carries the family through

One hundred years ago there was very
little joy in this country. No mention of
any Fourth of July celebration is made in
the papers Of that time, and it seems that
the day was allowed to pass without recoy
milton, This is largely accounted for by
the fact that the people then were in sore
straits for money. The newspapers of July
l7S5 are filled with complaints about hard
times One of them gave vent as follows:
I'VE are going to the Dsvil a fast as We
can-Our Money is gone-OIr Trade is
RUNE i-Our Countrymen are no longer vir-
tuous, and our Country women are no
longer Industrious
As a remedy for this the editor says 10
the ladies: Strip off yonr Trash and put it
in the fire-Get up at o'clock III the Morn
ing. and, instead Of Sauntering your time
away in the Mali with Parcel of idle young
Fellows, take a Broom in your Hand aud
sweep out the Hou>e.'
To the gentlemen he speaks more briefly.
He says: "lnStead of ope ing your Stores
